Free trade agreements are a key element of the European Union's common trade policy. The rationale behind such agreements is the opportunity they bring to gain better access to the current and new markets for European producers, service providers and investors, which also contributes to increasing the competitive potential of the single European market and its member countries. Free trade agreements (FTA) are negotiated with selected trade partners. The European Commission's Communication of 4 October 2006 Global Europe: Competing in the World specifi es that the economic criteria for new FTA partners should be market potential and the level of protection against EU exports, including the potential partners' negotiations with EU competitors. The fulfilment of both criteria enabled the launch of trade negotiations between the European Union and the Republic of Korea, finalised by signing a free trade agreement regarding the movement of goods, services and establishment.
